The fact that you honestly are bothered by it means you are basically proving the point of the people who are accusing you of Stolen Valor and calling you a Liberal Snowflake..

Why does it bother you so much? I’ve been called every name in the book by people over my political,views and it never once has bothered me, because I learned as a kid, words only hurt when others know it bothers you. Nothing makes me smile faster when people get pissed off when I say thanks after they insult me

Alex Vindman, is that you?
